One of the mysteries and beauties of Sikkim is the Tshangu lake, high above the ground. At approximately 12,000 feet, up in the mountains, is this clean and serene lake. Hundreds of colourful Maruti vans (these seem to be the favourite cars here) flit up and down the mountains carrying excited tourists. Tshangu lake is absolutely clean and fresh, no one is allowed to enter it, no boating, nor throwing anything. There is a small temple of Shiva (Shiva is known as Tshangu here, hence the name of the lake). The China border is just about thirty yards away but one is forbidden to take pictures of that side, nor is one allowed to go there. Army personnel man the border and they also keep track of the cars and the people who go up and down the mountains.

A thick mist suddenly flows at any time hence tourists are asked to go down to the plains before noon especially as winter sets in as it can be quite dangerous. The twists and turns on the mountain side are quite sharp.
